[Untitled]
1940s

A sketch sheet featuring various pencil-drawn figures in different poses and activities. On the top left, a figure stands with one hand on the hip and the other behind the head. Next to it, a figure stretches with hands on the back of the head. On the top right, a muscular figure holds a rugby ball. Below, a group of figures appears to be engaged in a physical activity, possibly a sport. In the middle row, a woman and a man stand side by side, both dressed in formal attire, with the woman holding a three-candle wall sconce. To their right, a figure is bent over an object, possibly repairing it. At the bottom, a seated figure is focused on knitting. The paper has some annotations and is slightly worn at the edges.
